Suggest Any Supplements To Increase Body Resistance Against Frequent Cold
Question: I am suffering from bad cold since last 10 days. I have been taking amoxycillin and hatric3. I have this problem of cold since childhood. The biggest fear for me now is I have a 7 months old daughter who has got cold because of me and I am showing her to a pediatrician. I have gt blood tests done and there are no allergies in my blood. Please suggest any supplements that I can take to increase my body resistance against cold in longer run as winters have just begun.
Brief Answer:
Continue medication
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXX,
In my opinion you should continue these medicines for 5 days.
Drink plenty of fluids, keep yourself hydrated.
Warm saline gargles 5-6 times a day.
Avoid oily and spicy food.
For prevention on these episodes I advice you to start multivitamin tablet once daily.
You can also start combination of leukotrine receptor blocker and antihistamines once daily at night.
Start both these medicines 10-15 days prior to winter and continue till winter ends.
You can also take vaccine for influenzae as it is the most common organism for cold. It is yearly vaccine and gives you protection for 1 year.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
